When the dog days of summer roll in and it's just too hot to turn on the oven, keep cool with a no-cook dinner. Enjoy these light salads, sandwiches and soups—all made without breaking a sweat.

Pack these pockets 'o' fun for school, work or a weekend picnic—or just eat them at home. Toss in a few slices of red pepper for extra color and crunch. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
